Md on Horses Legs.

The Mark Lane Express contains
a series of interesting articles on
the veterinary treatment of farm
animals, from the pen of Prof.
Brown, V. s., in which he makes
the following allusiou to the above
subject:
Ordinarily, horses on returning
from work, have their legs, and
probably a portion of their bodies,
scraped and washed. The subse-
quent process of drying, if attempt
ei at all, is imperfectly performed,
and the surface of the skin is left
moist and cold until the natural
heat of the body causes the evapo-
ration of the moisture at the cost
of a large expenditure of heat.
Considerable disturbance Of the
function of the skin may be traced
to the effect of the evaporation.
The occurrence of mud fever and
the different forms Of disease which
have been mentioned is thus ex-
planned.
A happy inspiration induced
some. one to adopt the expedient Of
leaving the wet mud on the legs of
the horse returned from work, to
form a protective covering while
the drying process was proceeding.
On the following morning the dried
mud was brushed of without diff
Guilty, and forthwith "chspped
HEELS" "mud fever" and "grease'
ceased to appear in the stables
where this plan was adopted.
Further experience has shown
that if mud can be washed of at
once by driving the animal into a
pond, and then continuing the Jour-
ney home, no harm results. The
Is done by the washing,
if warm water is used,
when the animal has arrived home
and is to remain stationary for the
night in the stable.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
THE LARGEST FARM IN THE WORLD.
From the Missouri Republican

FROM the missouri heDuDican.
In the extreme southwest corner
of Louisiana lies the largest pro
ducing farm in the world. 1t runs
one hundred miles north and south
and twenty-five miles east aud
west, and is owned and operated
by a syndicate of northern capital
lists. Their general manager, j. h.
Watkins, gives an interesting &C
count of this gigantic plantation,
which throws the great Dalrymple
farm of Dakota into the shade
completely. He was cornered by
a-repOrter at the st. James Hotel
last night, and asked to give the
particulars OF his gigantic enter.

Watkins said, "was purchased in
1888 from the state of Louisiana
and from the United States govern.
ment. At that time it was vast
grazing land for the cattle of the
few dealers Of the neighborhood.
When l took possession | found
over 10000 head of half.wild horses
and cattle. My first work was to
divide the immense tract into con-
venient pastures, establishing sta
tons or ranches every six miles
The fencing alone cost in the neigh
borhOod of $4,000. The land |
found to be best adapted to rice,
sugar, corn and cotton. All our
cultivating, ditching, ETC., is done
by steam power. We take a tract,
say half a mile wide, for instance,
and place an engine at each side.
These engines are portable and
operate a cable attached to
four ploughs, and under this ar
rangement we are enabled to pillow
thirty acres day with only the
labor of three men. Our harrow
ing, planting and cultivating is
done in a liks manner. In fact,
there is not draught horse on the
entire place. We have, of course,
horses for the herders of cattle, of
which we now have 10000 head
The Southern Pacific Railroad runs
for thirty-six miles through our
farm. We have three steamboats,
operating on the waters OF our own
estate, upon which there are three
hundred miles of navigable waters,

shipyard and rice MILL"

ADVICE TOA YOUNG MAN.

My son, l observe that you are
pleased to be a little bit sarcastic
on the subject of the "mOdern evan
geliSt," You sneer at him because,
unlike Philip the evangelist, he
carefully avoids the way (which is
desert" and refuses to preach, save
in the great cities, in the busy cen
ters of religious activity, where
there are great multitndes and
much applause, and, as you hold,
some gam. All this is undOubted-
Iy true. The evangelist Of today
loves a crowd. He knows the val
ne of hinge audience and rafting
fusllades OF applause. He will not
60 into the desert on the chance Of
converting a single sinner from far
away Ethiopia, but don't you see
he can fire his gospel battery into
a whole regiment OF sinners by 60
ing to the town. AS he does not
have the power that certain old.
fashioned preachers had two thou
sand years ago, of drawing the
multitude after him into the wild
erness, he wisely goes after the
multitude. But, then, my boy, so
do the eloquent preachers of no re-
ligion. SO do these learned and
unselfish men who teach suffering
humanity that the evangelist Is a
fraud and all religion a sham.
They likewise seek the city and the
multitudes, and, not having the
faith in the financial liberality Of
their audiences that the evangelist
has in his, these refOrmers fear to
lean upon the much-despised col
lection and so charge so cents at
the door. No ticket, no liberal the
ology. 1t is only the gospel that is
free, after all, my son. Now, do
let the evangelist have his way as
we'll as the "reformers.' Let him
90 where the crowd is. He won't
hurt the crowd. He doesn't teach
the multitude to do anything
wrong. Herr Most didn't get into
Jail tor listening to Sam Jones.
The Chicago Anarchists were not
the outgrowth of a revival meeting.
No Presbyterian elder, no Metho-
dist class.leader, no Babtist deacon
has been indicted for throwing
bombs at the police. There may
have been an infdel or two, a free
thinker, maybe, an etheist, perhaps,
mixed up in that crowd of Anarch-
lists; l do not positively know,
but there may have been; you can
easily ascertain. But l do know
that the deacon and the elder we're
not there. None of Sam Jones
converts were there. The evange-
list may have some odd, rough, fun
ny ways of teaching, but he doesn't
teach evil. He doesn't persuade
men to do wrong. He doesn't lift
up his voice and cry aloud for free
whisky and no Sunday. 1t is true
that he gets paid for his preaching,
but it seems to me, my son, that
some kinds of preaching, are worth
paying for as well as others.-Bar-
dette, IN Brooklyn Eagle.

The Orchard Ia Winter.

When the work is very pushing
during the summer season there
are some orchard Jobs which can be
proftably postponed until winter.
With reference to pruning, a prac-
tical orchardist said, "Prune when
your knife is sharp" This means
that there is no special season for
pruning, and winter, especially
towards spring, may be taken ad.
vantage of in this branch of orchard
work. To do the WORK properly
requires skill and time, and,
when performed IN winter, the
branches cut from tho trees can
also be removed from the orchard,
thus saving valuable time during
the buster seasons. The work is
not unpleasant on mild days, when
there is sDow on the ground
Pruning in very cold weather
should not be undertaken.
Another class Of work which can
be proftably done is manuring and
mnlching. If the orchard is in
grass, well rotted manure should
be employed, and it may be spread
on the snow from the sleigh. If
The ground was plowed in the fall,
without the intention Of sowing q
crop in the spring, coarse manure
may be applied, which will act as q
mulch and fertilizer. If the or.
chard is located in a warm soil and
has a southern exposure, 80 that
the trees are apt to blossom too
early in the spring, thereby being
exposed to late spring frosts, 1t Is
desirable to place a mulch around
the trees over the snow. This
mulch will keep the snow from
melting rapidly in the spring, thus
keeping the soil cool, and prevent
ing too early a growth of buds.
